is there any way to convert a node script into a kind of executable or package for linux? For example for sharing a script I don't want to give the source code, just an executable
Any help is welcome

You can't really prevent people from extracting the source. – thejh Nov 20 '11 at 16:29

No, you can't protect source. – Raynos Nov 20 '11 at 17:27

@Raynos getting source code from a text file and reverse engineering an executable are very different things. You can protect it to some level. thejh is technically correct :) – Ricardo Tomasi Nov 21 '11 at 01:47

The only thing you'll be able to do along the lines of protecting code is to obfuscate the code, which makes it harder to read.
However anyone with enough patience and time will still be able to reverse engineer the code.
